Thanks Matt..there were 2 George Greens' who played for Norths, the first one in this photo come across from Easts , and played with us from 1912-1916(I also have the 1916 photo).. then in 1918 (Edward) George Green played for us from 1918-1922..

this is a great photo, and Con sullivan is there, and up the very back row, 3rd from left behind trainer is Australias first Rugby League Captain Dinny Lutge..What also surprises me is how long Eddie Taplin played for the club
1912-1922..

this photo has the 3 Deane brothers in it also lal, Sid and Os.. and the 2 McFarlane brothers

and also Jim Devereux along with Sid Deane were two of our players in Norths team of the century..

The Edward Courtney in the photo is Tedda , Jack,Frank, Robert and Raymonds father.. he was an American, and also an official ... Tedda played 1st grade for Norths in 1910, Frank played first grade for Norths in 1908 and 1909(foundation player), and Jack played from 1923-1929, and 1931..have to check but there is reports, that Jack Courtney may have been the first player to get 100 points in a season..Robert and Raymond sadly were both KIA in WW1

also Norths stalwart and captain Albert Broomham(pronounced Broom/Ham not Brohman) who played with Norths from 1908(another foundation player) to 1914..

there is also a L Barry, he looks like a player,in the back row but dont think he is mentioned in the mighty bears book anywhere, possibly Les Barry(b 1886), siblings born around st leonards mosman area, have to look into the old papers of the day..

The tables in "The Mighty Bears" list four Courtney's who played 1st grade for Norths:

..John Courtney was born in 1901,No, R Courtney didn't play first grade it was Frank who played 2 seasons in 1908 and 1909, His family verified the photo to me.Robert and Raymond played junior grades in the norths junior district, and were all accomplished sailors.and as I said both KIA in WW1, there are photos of the 2 of them on the AWM website.. in their uniforms.. just have to search for them..he was called Jack Courtney..
